Tom’s Tuesday: What is a Modern Landscape? – 17 February
February 17 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
- This event has passed.
Join us for a fun, hands-on art session where children explore what a modern landscape looks like today.
The workshop begins with a visit to our exhibition, Humphrey Ocean: Home, where children will create sketches inspired by his paintings of cars, houses, streets, and everyday surroundings. Using these ideas, the group will work together to create a collaborative modern city, built from recycled materials.
Children will design cardboard skyscrapers, trees, roads, and buildings to construct an exciting metropolis full of imagination. Alongside the 3D city, participants will also create 2D architectural-inspired artworks, experimenting with techniques such as frottage – a playful rubbing process using found textures, inspired by Surrealist artists and automatic drawing methods.
This a creative family art workshop that encourages creativity, teamwork, and imaginative thinking while introducing children to contemporary art practices in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. Perfect for curious young artists and creative families!
